A. 4
B. 8
C. 6
D. 16

Correct Answer: Option A

Question #2
A and B can do a work in 12 days, B and C in 15 days, and C and A in 20 days. How many days will A alone take to finish the work?
A. 30 days
B. 60 days
C. 20 days
D. 40 days

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Total work = LCM(12, 15, 20) = 60 units. Efficiency of (A+B) = 5, (B+C) = 4, (C+A) = 3. Summing efficiencies gives 2*(A+B+C) = 12 => Efficiency of (A+B+C) = 6 units/day. Efficiency of A = (A+B+C) - (B+C) = 6 - 4 = 2 units/day. Time taken by A alone = 60 / 2 = 30 days.
